How ViCALity SG Calcium Carbonate is Used
Food grade ViCALity®SG contains high purity calcium carbonate with the lowest lead content (0.4 parts per million) on the market. USP ingredient supplier Bell Chem wants you to be aware of the many advantages of stocking your shelves with ViCALity.
Food industry
The advantages of small particle size are more apparent in foods, since larger particles tend to dominate the flavor profile. When an additive does not wish to detract from other flavors, this minute size is ideal, such as in ice cream, other dairy products and infant formula, where ViCALity can add important minerals while not affecting the flavors.
Calcium such as ViCALity is often added as a buffering agent during microbial fermentation or for culturing products in both lab settings and in manufacturing.
Pharmaceutical
Soft-chew supplements high in calcium and antacids rely on ViCALity’s small particle size and USP ingredients to easily measure and pour the correct dose into tablets without affecting the taste. Along with a boost of the essential element calcium, ViCALity acts as a filler in pills and tablets.
Health and beauty
Calcium is lightly abrasive, and the smaller particle size of ViCALity allows the scrubbing away of surface debris from dental surfaces without negatively affecting the enamel. For this reason, ViCALity is often an additive to toothpastes and creams. ViCALity can be used to thoroughly clean dentures and bridgework as well.
When cosmetics are manufactured, one of their major selling points is appearance. Along with adding beneficial calcium to products, ViCALity also acts as a buffering agent as it lowers the pH of acidic products, making them more neutral to better react with the skin’s sensitive surface; a bulking additive to not only keep products from being runny, but also to spread active ingredients more thoroughly to prevent an abnormally high amount of ingredients in too small an area; and to give products either a white sheen or simply causing otherwise clear products to become opaque.
